Premiere Pro treats my S-Log3 footage as Rec.709. What am I doing wrong?

Technique

Hi! I’m shooting on a Sony a7IV in S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine, but Premiere Pro keeps interpreting my footage as Rec.709 by default. I’m using the latest version of Pr.

I tried disabling everything I could: • Tone Mapping: OFF • Color Space Override: Rec.709 (default) • When I switch the Color Space Override to S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine, the image becomes insanely oversaturated and completely unusable.

I feel like Premiere is applying some kind of transform under the hood, but I can’t figure out how to get the actual flat S-Log3 image so I can grade it properly (or send it to DaVinci Resolve without a baked-in transform).

Any help would be really appreciated, I’m completely stuck on this.
